Great paperback dictionary

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

I wasted a lot of gasoline looking for a simple paperback dictionary that didn't cost double digits. Gave them to some kids in my congregation with the assignment each week to look up the definition of a big word I used in my sermon that day. Told the kids that when the power when out and they couldn't access Google, they would not have to be stupid! It is really packed with definitions; more than sufficient for the vocabulary I use (except the words I make up; preachers do that). Print is on the small size, but I could read it well enough without exposing my presbyopia. It was exactly what I was hoping to find.

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2014

This dictionary is highly recommended! I started college this year, earning my Bachelors Degree in English and have taken it upon myself to increase my vocabulary. I had a different dictionary (I can't remember the name at the moment) that was not very clear and concise with their definitions. This dictionary gets right to the point with easily decipherable definitions, using simple and understandable words. I cuts down, what could potentially be a long and perplexing definition, in just a few words. I love this dictionary and will continue to use it.

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2016

Got this dictionary for my kid, who is showing heightened interest in spelling after seeing Spelling bee contest in his school. First of all the dictionary itself is very good. But, is printed on news paper like material and may not last for years as a "family dictionary" and Given the thickness and poor binding, it can rip easily. This can be a good middle/high school desk reference. I would spend few more dollars and buy a durable/better quality one from Merriam-Webster.

Great little dictionary

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2008

Verified Purchase

I wanted a dictionary that would be a great size to have by my side while I read books, in case I need to look up a word. This dictionary fits the bill perfectly. About the size of a mass market paperback, this dictionary is easy to hold and look through, compared to a larger, more unwieldy dictionary. I have only had a word or two that I could not find in it so far...and there are many other pieces of information that make up for the lack of the esoteric word or two...a periodic taps, some maps, etc.

Need's more words and definitions and less fluff

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2012

Verified Purchase

There are many pages in this dictionary that aren't necessary. There are sections such as "geographical names", "biographical names", and "foreign words and phrases", that I would never need to reference. I use this dictionary to refer to whilst I'm reading. Currently, I've had about a 50% chance of finding the word I am looking to define. I think those (in my opinion) filler pages should be replaced with more words and definitions. I realize this is not a "complete" dictionary however, I thought my chances of finding a word I need defined would be better than this.

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

I am a teacher of young gifted readers. They need a collegiate dictionary for the caliber of words they read (from old classics such as Heidi, Call of the Wild, Bambi, etc.) Since the kids are small, they need a lighter weight dictionary than the bound copies. It is small so fits in their hands and book bags. It has worked very well for their needs. The only suggestion is that the dictionary be bound in such a way that it doesn't want to flip shut but wants to remain open a bit better.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary-paper back version

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2012

Verified Purchase

Prior to ordering from Amazon, I checked several places, including a well known LARGE chain store and couldn't find a good paper back dictionary.
A short search on Amazon and I found just what I wanted at a reasonable cost.
I do puzzles in the newspaper and like the convenience of the paper back version which is much easier to handle than my large dictionary. Since I've been using the paper back copy, I haven't had to refer to my larger heavier version.
Thank you for providing quality merchandise at reasonable prices.

"Nice to have a pocket version"

Reviewed in Canada on February 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

It is nice to have a paperback dictionary close by so that when I need to look up something quick to get general information about the meaning of a word, then I can do so. Word definitions do not go in depth, but are meant to be a general reference guide, but what makes this a treat is not having to lug or open up a big hardcover dictionary when you just need to get some basic information from the dictionary.
